The increasing demand for renewable energy systems has intensified the use of lightweight composite materials in structural elements such as wind turbine towers, solar supports, and offshore platforms. Despite their mechanical advantages, composite structures remain vulnerable to buckling, necessitating the use of accurate computational modeling to ensure reliability. A total of 1855 Scopus-indexed publications were analyzed using Bibliometrix and VOSviewer. The data span 294 journals and over 4200 authors, with China, the United States, and India leading in output. Key publishing platforms include Composite Structures and Thin-Walled Structures. Mapping of keywords, co-authorship, and citation networks indicates that FEM is the dominant analytical tool for assessing buckling behavior, especially in studies involving optimization and failure prediction. This review synthesizes significant developments in the field and reveals the integration of computational mechanics and advanced materials within the energy sector. The results serve as a reference for researchers seeking to enhance the structural resilience of composite-based energy systems.en2578--062XEs Materials and Manufacturing2025https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Bibliometric analysisComposite bucklingEnergy structure and infrastructureFinite element analysisTechnology::620: Engineering::620.1: Engineering Mechanics and Materials ScienceTechnology::621: Applied PhysicsComposite buckling performances for energy structures and infrastructures: a milestone analysis based on finite element research (2000–2025)Journal Articlehttps://doi.org/10.15480/882.1697810.30919/mm199210.15480/882.16978
